Should I buy a domain?
You have to option to purchase the domain yourself, or I can buy it for you. I usually encourage clients to purchase their domain via 123 Reg or similar.
Which CMS do you use?
My websites are created using WordPress Content Management System. I create with WordPress because it is a solid foundation that is easy for you (the user) to update with images, text and blog posts by yourself.
Building on WordPress means I can spend more time creating beautiful and stylish websites. I don’t use templates and create them myself, ensuring you website is unique to you and has extra stylish details.
I can also build your website using Shopify, Wix or Squarespace if required.
What is hosting?
Hosting is basically the bit of the internet where your website lives – think of it as a shop that you are renting for your business, except it is a virtual space that is keeping your business online.
How much is hosting?
Hosting is from £5 per month to £20 per month depending on the size and functions of the website. This can be paid monthly or annually. Alternatively, you can arrange your own hosting. I recommend using Siteground.
How long does it take?
Timings vary, but most projects take 6-8 weeks. The more prompt you are with sending over the content, the quicker the website can be made.
If you need it sooner, this can be discussed.

Prices vary depending on the project. They start at £800 for a simple website up, approximately £1,500-£3,000 for an e-commerce website, and from £2,000-£6,000 for a bespoke website.
Payment is 50% before work commences, and 50% on completion. If you would like to split your payment over 4 to 6 months, I am happy to discuss this with you.
